Self asphyxiation: Chemical warfare style.

The only possible way this story could get weirder would be if it involved Gargamel, Papa Smurf and a talking porpoise.

Ralph Santiago, 31, was found dead in the men’s toilets of the building he worked wearing Wellington boots, a wetsuit and gas mask.

His body was found by a colleague at about 7am on Tuesday, July 22, last year, lying on the floor with a gas canister nearby.

Further rubber/latex outfits were found in Mr Santiago’s car and in the ladies’ toilets of his workplace at Aquis House in Blagrave Street, Reading.

The evening before he died Mr Santiago printed off information from the internet explaining how inhaling “poppers” (legal chemicals used to stimulate a sexual high) via a gas mask can cause arousal.

When you hear stories like this, you really begin to realize the importance of Natural Selection and gene pool cleansing. I vote posthumous Darwin Award for this cat.
